A slow-burn romance in a cutthroat kitchen There's more to becoming a top chef for 17-year-old Isabella Fields than just not getting chopped ... especially when the chances of things heating up with an intriguing boy and becoming a food star in the kitchen are both on the chopping block.

Aspiring chef Isa's family life has fallen apart after the death of her Cuban abuela and the divorce of her parents. She moves in with her dad and her new stepmom, Margo, in Lyon, France, where Isa feels like an outsider in her father's new life. Isa balances her time between avoiding the awkward, "why-did-you-cheat-on-Mom" conversation with figuring out how a perpetually single woman can at least be a perpetually single chef.

The upside of Isa's world being turned upside-down?

Her father's house is located only 30 minutes away from the restaurant of world-famous Chef Pascal Grattard, who runs a prestigiously competitive international kitchen apprenticeship. The prize job at Chef Grattard's renowned restaurant also represents a transformative opportunity for Isa who is desperate to get her life back in order--and desperate to prove she has what it takes to work in an haute kitchen. But Isa's stress and repressed grief begin to unravel when the attractive, enigmatic Diego shows up unannounced with his albino dog.

How can Isa expect to hold it together when she's at the bottom of her class at the apprenticeship, her new stepmom is pregnant, she misses her abuela dearly, and things with the mysterious Diego reach a boiling point?

Stylish look and great value for special occasions
Size: X-Large, Color: Blue, Size: X-Large, Color: Blue
This suit looks really good in person. The pattern adds a nice touch that makes it stand out without looking too flashy. It is a great option for events like weddings, parties, or prom where you want something a bit different from a basic suit. The fit is slim and modern, giving a clean and sharp look when worn. It feels comfortable enough for a few hours, and the overall shape looks more tailored than expected for the price. The jacket sits well, and the pants match nicely to complete the set. The material is lightweight and decent for occasional use. It does not feel like a premium suit, but it looks good and photographs well, which is what matters for events. The bow tie included is a nice extra and helps complete the outfit without needing to buy more pieces. It may need a quick steam or ironing out of the package to look its best. Also, checking the size chart is important to get the right fit. For the price, this is a very good value. You get a full outfit that looks stylish and put together without spending too much. Great option if you need something affordable for special occasions.

Stylish Statement Suit for the Price
Size: Medium, Color: Gold - Embroidery, Size: Medium, Color: Gold - Embroidery
I really like the black with gold embroidery on this suit - it really will make you stand out. The gold does have a slight green tint to it in certain lighting, but overall I like the unique design and think it looks great. The pants have some flexibility, which made them more comfortable than I expected. I got a Medium - and im usually a 32W. I could see it fitting a 30W or34W too. It arrived in great shape and was not wrinkled at all, though i'm likely going to have to hem the pants 1-2 inches. The pants are neutral and could be worn with other black jackets. I am usually a size 42 bust in jackets, and while the size chart says medium is a 44 bust, i think this fits me like a glove. It also came with a bow tie, which is a nice added bonus. Overall, I think this is a great deal for the price and a solid choice for anyone looking for a versatile standout suit for a formal event or a costume party.

Way better than expected - Not a "costume" at all!
Size: X-Large, Color: Christmas Green
I’m going to be honest: I was fully prepared to open this package and find a cheap, shiny, flammable-looking costume that belonged in a discount Halloween store. Buying a tuxedo on Amazon feels like a total gamble, and I was definitely a skeptic. I couldn’t have been more wrong. This suit is actually fantastic. First off, the fabric. It doesn’t have that "plastic" feel I was dreading; it actually feels elegant and has a nice weight to it. The floral pattern is sharp and the colors are vibrant without being "too much." It looks way more expensive than the price tag suggests. The fit was the biggest surprise. I’m always wary of "slim fit" labels, but this hit the mark perfectly. It’s tailored in the right places without feeling like I’m about to burst a seam if I sit down. I originally bought this thinking it might work for a one-off event, but now I’m genuinely excited to break it out for an upcoming casino night and a wedding later this year. If you’re on the fence because you’re worried about Amazon quality, just go for it. This is a legitimate suit that’ll definitely get you some compliments. 10/10 would buy again.

Showstopper! Incredible Fit and Stunning Floral Design!
Size: Medium, Color: Black
I bought this Mgnaie floral tuxedo for a special event, and I was absolutely blown away by the quality and the fit! Getting a slim-fit suit online can be a gamble, but this two-piece set fit perfectly right out of the package. The blazer hugs the shoulders beautifully, and the pants have a modern, sleek profile without being too restrictive or tight. The floral pattern is exactly what I wanted—bold and eye-catching, yet elegant enough for a formal setting like a wedding, prom, or gala. I received compliments all night long! The fabric feels premium, breathable, and comfortable enough to wear and dance in for hours without losing its shape. For the price, you are getting a high-end look that rivals much more expensive designer tuxedos. If you want to stand out from the crowd in the best way possible, I highly recommend this suit. It is an absolute must-have for any formal wardrobe!
